If a phone is in a business, all you usually have to do is dial '9' and wait for a regular dial tone.
In general, you will always have a dial tone when you are calling from a landline phone, but never from a mobile phone.
A dial tone is a continuous tone that indicates the phone line is operational and ready for dialing. It is typically a steady tone of 350 Hz in the United States and Canada.

Pick up your phone, wait for the dial tone. Then dial *67, wait for the dial tone sound to like cut out twice. Not a beep but no actual sound for appxroximately 1 second each, one immediately after the other. When the dial tone resumes, make your call. This is a per call type of thing. In other words, YOU control who sees your number. Do this for every 'annonomous' call you want to make.
